LatePoint – Calendar Booking Plugin for Appointments and Events


Over the past 10 years I have used many WordPress plug-ins. The common theme I've always noticed is that developers are making them for developers versus putting the time and effort to craft a beautiful product.



If there was an award for the most thoughtful and elegant user interface and user experience, hands-down, it would go to LatePoint.



This is crucial for a booking plug-in because normal users interact with it every single day. I have tried other booking plug-ins and it's not something that I would want to have my clients interact with on a regular basis.



LatePoint is just on another level.


Amazing Craftsmanship With Every Detail

Optimize your appointment scheduling with our plugin. Sync calendars, automate reminders, and keep your bookings organized.
